Explain your Avi

So, the GOs wearing each others' avis as "costumes" got me thinking and I was wondering if there's a story behind your avi. Obviously some people use pics of themselves or their families - if you do that, why did you pick that particular photo? What is it's significance? For people with seemingly random photos, share your story! Enquiring minds want to know.

By happenstance (read: everything else was taken) my SN ended up in Italian. I figured I needed an avi to go with it, and what could be more Italian than a gondola? Well, besides pizza, but it's probably not wise to post pictures of food on a site full of preggos (no offense, RVC).
